GEM Premier 4000 – Intelligent automation for critical care
Werfen's GEM Premier 4000 stands out for its ability to transform critical care analysis into a fast, reliable and uncomplicated task. Developed to meet the demands of modern hospital environments, it incorporates state-of-the-art technology that makes the entire analytical process fully automated, from quality control to data management. Its iQM (Intelligent Quality Management) system is at the heart of this automation: it provides real-time quality monitoring, automatically detects errors, corrects them and documents every action without human intervention, thereby reducing the risk of errors and ensuring optimal results at all times.
The GEM Premier 4000 also relies on the GEMweb Plus system, a powerful connectivity solution that centralises the management of devices, operators and patient data across the entire hospital network. Through a single graphical interface, users can remotely control analysers, manage operator certifications, view patient histories and PAK cartridge statuses, and automate regulatory processes. This infrastructure promotes seamless traceability and enables rapid response in critical situations.
On a practical level, the GEM Premier 4000 offers an easy-to-use cartridge system ( GEM PAK) that contains all the components needed for analysis: sensors, reagents, CO-Oximetry cell, waste containers, lysis solution, etc. This multi-use system is designed for 30 days of continuous use without refrigeration, drastically reducing maintenance and handling. It also saves considerable time for medical staff, with an estimated saving of more than 1,500 hours per year in facilities using multiple units.
The device is compatible with a wide variety of sample types – syringe, capillary tube or ampoule – and offers an extensive analytical menu including blood gases, electrolytes, blood glucose, lactate, haematocrit, haemoglobin forms and total bilirubin. It provides comprehensive results in less than 95 seconds, even with the complete CO-Oximetry panel.
Whether in intensive care units, emergency rooms, operating theatres or neonatal wards, the GEM Premier 4000 ensures superior quality of care thanks to its accuracy, ease of use and seamless integration with hospital systems. It is now the benchmark for point-of-care analysis in hospitals around the world.
